Authentication

Nexmo/Vonage application JWT signed with your private key jwt discovered Get key ↗

Authorization: Bearer <credential>

Create a Vonage application in the Applications area of the dashboard and generate/download its private key. Use the application ID plus that private key to mint a JWT for API calls. Vonage's auth docs note that most newer APIs use JWTs and that you can generate them with the CLI; see Authentication.

Nexmo/Vonage API key and API secret basic discovered Get credentials ↗

Authorization: Basic <credential>

Sign in to the Vonage/Nexmo dashboard account settings. Your account is created with an API key and API secret; many APIs use them either as HTTP Basic credentials (Authorization: Basic base64(API_KEY:API_SECRET)) or as api_key/api_secret request parameters. The CLI can also store them for you with nexmo setup <api_key> <api_secret> as documented in the Nexmo CLI README.
